The 53 Leeds areas where Covid cases are almost zero as lockdown lifts and Indian variant concerns grow

But with the so-called Indian variant fast becoming a cause of concern for the Government with infections identified across the UK, there are fears the roadmap out of lockdown could be threatened.

The latest figures show 38 out of 107 neighbourhoods in Leeds still saw a drop in infections in the latest seven-day period, the first week of May.

Now with gyms, bars and restaurants opened up to customers again, we reveal which neighbourhoods have seen the lowest rate of cases per 100,000 people between May 1 and May 8.

When an area records less than three cases, the data is hidden to protect the identity of those infected.
